WikiJournal of Humanities

In the section on excluded content, should we mention that original academic papers may be submitted to Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Humanities? Pinging @Bluerasberry for his thoughts. - Jmabel ! talk 02:41, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Probably not. Judging by v:WikiJournal Preprints#Articles currently in review (which includes some unacknowledged submissions as much as five or six years old), the project is largely inactive, and directing users there would not be helpful. Omphalographer (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
@Omphalographer and Jmabel: Despite the unprocessed older submissions the project is active and considering incoming submissions.
@Marshallsumter and OhanaUnited: can you speak more about WikiJournal? How much capacity is there to review incoming preprint submissions? Bluerasberry (talk) 03:20, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
Regarding specifically the WikiJournal of Science, the capacity is small but close to the submission rate. For example, the latest is Diffeology and I am currently looking for reviewers. --Marshallsumter (talk) 08:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
should we mention that original academic papers may be submitted to Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Humanities? No, I don't think so. Those are just very few files and this makes this page unnecessarily long and more complicated. It doesn't matter if users submit say 5 such PDF files per year to Commons or not and even not if they also submitted it to or were better to submit it to the WikiJournal of Humanities.

Thanks for the ping. I would say it's not necessary at the current stage to explicitly state it in the Commons scope. Our current preprint processing instructs authors of original academic papers to create preprint page directly on the wiki or submit by email. OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:44, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
